Calculate the annual fuel costs for 10MW power plants based on the following cycles. The fuel is hybrid poplar available at $48/Mg at 20% moisture. Hint: The energy required to evaporate the moisture of the wood is incorporated into the facility efficiency. The percent moisture affects how much biomass to purchase. a. Conventional steam power plant with a heat rate of 14,000 BTU/kWh. b. Integrated gasification/combined cycle (IGCC). The gasification of the biomass is 85% efficient. The Brayton and Rankine cycles operate at 30% and 25% efficiency, respectively, due to the small plant size. Hint: Use the combined cycled efficiency equation for the combined efficiency of the Brayton and Rankine cycles. Hint: For the overall efficiency, multiply the gasification efficiency by the combined efficiency. c. Why is the Brayton cycle the topping cycle and the Rankine cycle the bottoming cycle

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?

1kg of water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes in series from an initial state where the pressure is 3.0 bar and the temperature is 150°c process 1-2: the water is compressed isothermally to a volume of 0.25 m^3 with 120 kj of work being done to the system. process 2-3: the water is heated at constant volume to a final pressure of 10 bar. a. find the change in internal energy for the system. b. calculate the amount of heat transferred, in kj. c. sketch both processes on a t-v diagram. (196.33 kj/kg, 76.33 kj)
